At this point I’d rather stick to my dumb 1080p tv than upgrade and get stuck with awful smart tv software and ads

I bought an LG OLED and then just blocked it from communicating over the WAN so it works like a normal dumb TV.

It's as simple as not connecting your smart TV to the internet.

Plex supports 4k and HDR. Looks great on my OLED of which I never use it's "smart" tv functionality. I'd sooner buy physical discs than ever subscribe to another streaming service.
